1
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:34,000
{\an8}THE NIGHT BEFORE
2
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:39,920
My death
3
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:42,320
will clear the path for Cen Pickles,
4
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,680
and the Tiemo King's life
5
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,440
will draw out
the 3,000 Tiemo shadow guards.
6
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:51,760
This plan is nearing its end.
7
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:55,800
Fate will soon show its hand.
8
00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:00,120
The realm's future will soon be decided.
9
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:30,840
TEA HOUSE
10
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:38,960
Move!
11
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,200
- Surround Hidden Soldier Alley!
- Yes!
12
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:13,920
The people who moved
into Hidden Soldier Alley
13
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:15,520
brought life back to it,
14
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:17,720
but today,
15
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:20,800
smoke and fire will return.
16
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,800
Will Mr. Xie Huai'an arrive on time?
17
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:31,960
Ye Zheng,
18
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:35,200
the Shen-hour plan
19
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,720
cannot afford a single misstep.
20
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:41,320
Therefore,
21
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,880
you must appear at the exact place
I designated for you on time
22
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:47,400
and wait for me there.
23
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:50,720
This is the grandest stratagem
of his life.
24
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:55,760
He will not be absent.
25
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:57,520
TEA HOUSE
26
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:47,680
Run!
27
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:50,360
Goodbye!
28
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:57,160
Get him!
29
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,360
I do not know what tomorrow holds.
30
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:15,120
But today,
let us say our farewell properly.
31
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,280
If you do that, you will die.
32
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:25,000
Don't worry.
33
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:26,400
I promise
34
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:29,400
we will meet again.
35
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:32,520
Your task is crucial.
36
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:35,360
I believe
37
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:41,160
you can do it.
38
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:44,760
I won't die.
39
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:47,760
And you must not die either.
40
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:22,120
Everything today was arranged in advance,
41
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:24,600
including the pot mender
42
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:26,760
and the physician named Yi Zhihu.
43
00:06:26,840 --> 00:06:30,280
What are you hiding
that you cannot tell me outright?
44
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:36,880
Very well.
45
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:38,880
I will be honest.
46
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,320
Tomorrow, I will meet the King of Tiemo,
47
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:48,840
staking my life on this plan.
48
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,000
The pot mender
49
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:54,600
is linked to the units
I've hidden in the city.
50
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:56,600
Tomorrow, at the Hour of Shen,
51
00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,560
our clash with Tiemo
will unfold inside the city.
52
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:04,200
And
53
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,000
what will happen to you?
54
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:13,760
When fireworks rise
55
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:16,720
at the Hour of Shen,
56
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:20,560
you and Yi Zhihu should come
to the Tiemo King's residence for me.
57
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:24,640
As for the outcome,
it rests in Heaven's hands.
58
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:33,000
Remember:
59
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:37,440
if you act before the hour of Shen,
60
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:39,480
you will alert them,
61
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,760
and the entire plan will collapse.
62
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:48,080
You must not die.
63
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:52,280
One man's life
64
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:58,040
is nothing beside the fate of Chang'an.
65
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:00,320
Besides,
66
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:02,640
Yi Zhihu's medical skills
67
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:05,680
match your master's.
68
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:09,240
Perhaps she will keep me alive.
69
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:33,480
Sir,
70
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:35,960
the two of them split in two directions.
71
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:37,760
We lost them both.
72
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,159
Had Genghui been here,
we wouldn't have failed.
73
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,680
But did Xie Huai'an truly risk his life
74
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:52,640
just to draw Fang Genghui away
and rescue Xiao Wenjing?
75
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:56,360
Stay back!
76
00:08:57,720 --> 00:08:59,280
Xiao Wenjing,
77
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:02,040
you are not useless after all.
78
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:06,400
But don't forget that Xiao Wuyang
is still in our hands.
79
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:08,880
He's in Yulong Ridge, isn't he?
80
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:11,960
Someone is already on the way to save him.
81
00:09:24,560 --> 00:09:25,480
Kill Xiao Wuyang!
82
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:27,440
Break through!
83
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:28,360
Charge!
84
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:43,480
Kill Xiao Wuyang!
85
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:09,120
You won't be able to rescue Xiao Wuyang.
86
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:10,920
Even if we fail,
87
00:10:11,560 --> 00:10:13,560
the Tiemo King will die
in Hidden Soldier Alley.
88
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:15,760
At worst,
89
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,000
we trade one life for another.
90
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:25,720
Sir.
91
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:34,160
Report!
92
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:40,120
Sir,
93
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:41,480
Wuyang troops have entered the city
94
00:10:41,560 --> 00:10:42,520
They've surrounded Hidden Soldier Alley.
95
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:44,360
Hidden Soldier Alley?
96
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:47,320
Is His Majesty still at his residence?
97
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:20,760
GLOWING MIST
98
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:46,000
TEA HOUSE
99
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:47,240
Zheng.
100
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:49,560
Has he returned?
101
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:51,920
He has.
102
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:56,960
This is the next move.
103
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:04,720
THE TIEMO KING WILL BE LOCKED
IN BATTLE WITH YAN FENGSHAN.
104
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:14,360
We've fallen into Xie Huai'an's trap.
105
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,280
His Majesty has been taken by Cen Pickles.
106
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:21,480
Surround Hidden Soldier Alley!
107
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:38,080
DEFEND THE CAPITAL
108
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:40,840
Breaking into the granary
will not be easy.
109
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:42,960
They made the first move.
110
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:45,200
The whole ward must have become a trap.
111
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:49,520
Xie Huai'an wants
to force a decisive battle.
112
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:52,880
Hidden Soldier Alley is certainly a trap.
113
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:55,360
The guards at the Imperial Guard Station
114
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,120
may not be able to break through.
115
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,240
Notify every shadow guard
in the city to don armor
116
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:04,920
- and converge on Hidden Soldier Alley.
- Understood.
117
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:15,640
I know your concern.
118
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:19,000
To expose the shadow guards
is to reveal our last hand.
119
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:20,880
But Genghui,
120
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:23,520
His Majesty cannot die.
121
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:25,480
If he falls,
122
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:28,240
even if our army takes Chang'an,
123
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:29,920
trouble will never end.
124
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:32,920
{\an8}WINE HOUSE
125
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:40,680
WAREHOUSE
126
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:50,840
For years,
127
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:54,720
our 3,000 shadow guards
have scouted every corner of Chang'an,
128
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:57,040
including Hidden Soldier Alley.
129
00:15:57,880 --> 00:15:59,720
This spot has long been
piled with clutter,
130
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:01,120
poorly guarded,
131
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:03,680
and forgotten.
132
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:09,000
From here,
we can cut straight into the alley.
133
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:27,880
WINE HOUSE
134
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:34,560
Stay close. Move!
135
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:46,280
The formation inside Hidden Soldier Alley
is already set.
136
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:49,360
The breach on the west side
was left there on purpose.
137
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,480
It is the death gate
laid for the Tiemo forces.
138
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:54,240
To save their king,
139
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:56,480
they will enter through it.
140
00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:58,160
Once they're in,
141
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:00,520
they will never leave.
142
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:07,680
Among Tiemo forces,
143
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:10,680
only centurions and above
carry the command arrows,
144
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:13,160
and a centurion
145
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:15,320
is hard to kill.
146
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:18,120
Ye Zheng, this is your task.
147
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:20,800
Gather the command arrows.
148
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:23,120
They will be of great use to us.
149
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:49,040
The Tiemo King
is not in Hidden Soldier Alley.
150
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:51,440
The Wuyang Army's blockade
151
00:21:52,120 --> 00:21:54,800
is only a performance
to mislead the Tiemo people.
152
00:22:50,360 --> 00:22:51,720
The command arrow
153
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:54,320
is their signal for reinforcements.
154
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:58,240
More shadow guards, armored and armed,
155
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:00,720
will break in from the west side
of the alley
156
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:02,200
and walk straight into our trap.
157
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:04,960
Tiemo will commit all its strength
158
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:07,120
and have no cards left.
159
00:23:08,360 --> 00:23:10,240
We will put everything to an end
160
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:12,520
in Hidden Soldier Alley.
161
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:28,120
Even if you kill me,
162
00:23:30,120 --> 00:23:31,480
you still…
163
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:46,880
Are there more enemies?
164
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:48,360
All dead.
165
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:09,000
What is it?
166
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:10,800
By now,
167
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:13,160
inside the granary,
168
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:16,520
the victor has already been decided.
169
00:24:34,120 --> 00:24:35,800
After all these years,
170
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:38,480
you are still trapped in that granary.
171
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:40,800
Today,
172
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:43,240
you will not walk out either.
173
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:15,600
I've always wanted to ask you something.
174
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:18,040
On that snowy night,
175
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:19,760
why did you spare him?
176
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:28,840
They say that on Mount Shiluoman
177
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:32,440
lives a rare toad,
178
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:34,280
hideously ugly.
179
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:35,760
A toad?
180
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:39,120
When it meets its own kind,
181
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:42,000
it is frightened by the other's ugliness
182
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:45,000
and exudes an oil in shock,
183
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:48,040
only to realize
184
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:51,160
it is just as ugly.
185
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:55,120
The tale exists.
186
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:58,800
That oil is said to be
the world's only cure for regret.
187
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:08,680
I spared Yan Fengshan that night
188
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:13,960
because I thought of that toad.
189
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:17,080
In his eyes,
190
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:22,800
I seemed to see myself.
191
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:28,720
Finish it, White Hair.
192
00:26:41,120 --> 00:26:41,960
No.
193
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:45,160
You must die slowly.
194
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:48,160
That hurts more.
195
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:53,400
A traitor like you
196
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:56,040
should have died long ago.
197
00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:58,520
Speak.
198
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:02,400
Why did you rebel?
199
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:06,360
You never walked out
200
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:09,240
of the Liu Manor
201
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:11,520
after the night it fell 15 years ago.
202
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:17,320
I never walked out of the granary
at Chen Valley, either.
203
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:19,840
I've always believed
204
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:23,040
that only by killing everyone
205
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:25,320
can I stay alive.
206
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:31,800
Aren't you the same?
207
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:35,120
Yes.
208
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:38,320
Only by killing my enemies
209
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:41,120
can I go on living.
210
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:43,480
In truth,
211
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:47,720
you and I share one enemy.
212
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:51,640
The one who drove me into that granary.
213
00:27:52,360 --> 00:27:55,320
He took part in your father's murder.
214
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:57,240
On the night your family was massacred,
215
00:27:57,960 --> 00:27:59,920
he stood in the shadows.
216
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:02,280
You remember him,
217
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:04,960
but you do not know him.
218
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:06,840
After I die,
219
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:09,160
he will come.
220
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:23,320
The Huben Army's top shadow guard
221
00:28:24,360 --> 00:28:25,800
must have made preparations
222
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:28,680
for his death.
223
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:31,880
Somewhere in this house,
224
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:34,640
there must be a head
wearing a face made to match yours.
225
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:14,720
Why did you return?
226
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:18,040
After that night,
227
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:21,360
I sat on the street for a long time.
228
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:27,000
The streets of Chang'an
truly are a fine sight.
229
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:29,960
People came and went,
230
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:33,480
living their lives as usual.
231
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:37,880
No one spoke of Yan Fengshan's
232
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:40,520
rise or fall.
233
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:46,520
Tomorrow, at the Shen hour,
234
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:49,560
fight for Chang'an,
235
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:53,680
and you will finally
walk out of that granary.
236
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:56,000
Your ending
237
00:29:57,440 --> 00:29:58,960
is yours to choose.
238
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:11,040
Thank you for granting me this chance.
239
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:12,880
I am granting nothing.
240
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:18,320
You killed my family.
241
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:21,800
The Liu clan will never forgive you.
242
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:31,480
You carved this amulet
243
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:35,760
for Liu Li back then.
244
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:38,640
Now that the realm is in peril,
245
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:41,880
I use it
246
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:45,920
to buy your life
247
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:51,560
and return it to Chang'an.
248
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:41,960
White Hair,
249
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:45,400
I owe you nothing now,
250
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,800
and I owe Chang'an nothing.
251
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:17,120
WINE HOUSE
252
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:02,040
Even if we cannot save His Majesty,
253
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:05,040
even if I die here today,
254
00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:10,560
there are still 200,000 Tiemo troops
in your lands.
255
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:12,640
In half a day's time,
256
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:15,400
they will reach Chang'an.
257
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:17,320
When they arrive,
258
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:20,320
the city will run with blood.
259
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:26,640
You think
260
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:29,840
Xie Huai'an did not foresee that?
261
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:36,800
The Baiwenhu Army fell so easily
because that was Gu Yu's stratagem.
262
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:39,360
By not fighting to the death,
263
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:42,000
they preserved most of their forces.
264
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:45,920
For this,
Xie Huai'an devised his master plan.
265
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:49,160
As the Tiemo army marched south,
266
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:51,480
Xie Huai'an's messenger
267
00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:53,760
met with the four regional commanders.
268
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:58,160
If they refused to help
break the siege of Chang'an,
269
00:33:58,240 --> 00:33:59,920
the Baiwenhu Army
270
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:03,000
would immediately take Xie Huai'an's order
and attack them.
271
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:05,240
The choice between perishing together
272
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:07,840
and standing united against Tiemo
273
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:09,600
should be
274
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:12,719
easy to make, shouldn't it?
275
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:21,199
By now,
276
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:25,400
your Tiemo army should already
be under attack from all sides.
277
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:29,000
Impossible.
278
00:34:29,679 --> 00:34:31,199
How so?
279
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:33,760
I see.
280
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:36,920
The military reports you received
did not say any of this,
281
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:38,800
did they?
282
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:45,679
Xie Huai'an and the Huben Army
have reconciled.
283
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:50,800
That force, skilled in disguise
and infiltration, was his by right.
284
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:53,719
They merely did what they excelled at
285
00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:56,520
and slipped
into your intelligence network.
286
00:34:57,520 --> 00:35:00,280
So for the past three days,
every report you received
287
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:03,280
was exactly what we wanted you to see.
288
00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:10,000
By the way,
289
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:12,680
the battle in Hidden Soldier Alley
was also a ruse,
290
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:15,360
meant to draw out
every shadow guard you had
291
00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:16,800
in the city.
292
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:18,560
And one more thing.
293
00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:19,840
The Tiemo King
294
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:22,920
was never here.
295
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:27,880
By now,
296
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:31,360
he should already be dead somewhere else.
297
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:45,280
Accept defeat.
298
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:02,440
You wanted an alliance with me,
didn't you?
299
00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:06,280
Then sign this treaty
300
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:08,800
and withdraw your troops.
301
00:36:10,240 --> 00:36:11,320
Otherwise,
302
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:13,880
two generations of Tiemo's strength,
303
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:17,560
every man fit to ride into battle,
304
00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:19,320
will die.
305
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:23,000
None will be able to return home.
306
00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:50,720
THE EMPEROR PAYS RESPECTS
TO THE KING OF TIEMO.
307
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:52,320
ENVOY WUYIN CHONG PROPOSES
A CEASEFIRE AND RESTORATION.
308
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:53,920
A NEW PACT IS FORGED TO BRING PEACE.
309
00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:39,600
GRAIN STORE, NO OPEN FLAMES
310
00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:21,520
White Hair?
311
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:36,080
Yan Fengshan died for you.
312
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:39,400
And Cen Pickles risked everything for you.
313
00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:43,280
You truly are something.
314
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:01,840
They did not risk their lives for me.
315
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:09,840
They only wished to protect
the grain and flour of Chang'an.
316
00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:31,600
You asked me what I lived for.
317
00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:38,000
I live
318
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:42,640
for that same grain and flour.
319
00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:53,880
Since it's over the grain and flour,
320
00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:56,640
you and I are enemies.
321
00:40:56,720 --> 00:40:58,800
If you die here,
322
00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:01,360
no one will know.
323
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:03,360
I spent years planning
324
00:41:04,640 --> 00:41:06,080
before returning to Chang'an
325
00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:11,200
to destroy the entire Huben Army,
326
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:18,040
yet I failed to realize
327
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:21,960
I was one of them.
328
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:25,640
My father
329
00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:29,840
raised the Huben Army for Chang'an.
330
00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:31,760
Every member is a shadow guard.
331
00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:36,680
So many died
without leaving their names behind.
332
00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:41,240
That is the price of protection.
333
00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:47,640
For a Huben guard, killing the enemy
334
00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:50,200
is the highest merit.
335
00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:51,920
You think
336
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:54,320
you can win?
337
00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:02,200
The shadow guards you hid in the city
338
00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:06,080
all believe you are trapped
in the granary of Hidden Soldier Alley.
339
00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:09,320
The remnants of the Baiwenhu Army
340
00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:13,120
and the forces
of the four regional commanders
341
00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:16,040
have already united.
342
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:19,520
The entire heartland of the empire
343
00:42:20,720 --> 00:42:23,280
has become a trap for your Tiemo army.
344
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:26,400
Do you think
345
00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:28,680
you can win?
346
00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:31,280
As long as I live,
347
00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:34,880
the victor is not yet decided.
348
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:43,480
White Hair,
349
00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:46,320
you
350
00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:51,840
dragged yourself here on sheer will alone.
351
00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:55,000
How do you plan to kill me?
352
00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:01,040
Can hands meant
for writing and pouring tea
353
00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:03,600
even lift a sword?
354
00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:08,400
Can the words
355
00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:10,960
protect Chang'an kill me?
356
00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:13,960
No.
357
00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:16,920
But another phrase can.
358
00:43:20,880 --> 00:43:23,640
Fifteen years ago, at the Grand Academy,
359
00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:27,560
when you taught us to make funnel timers,
360
00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:29,800
you said six words.
361
00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:45,280
SERVICE AND DUTY,
HONEST EFFORT, INNER DISCIPLINE
362
00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:51,240
REVERE THE MASTER, UPHOLD THE WAY
363
00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:21,560
CONTEMPLATION
364
00:44:23,640 --> 00:44:25,720
The room is full of flour dust.
365
00:44:26,320 --> 00:44:28,240
Settle the dust, to prevent fire.
366
00:44:29,120 --> 00:44:29,960
Remember?
367
00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:31,960
- Yes, sir.
- Yes, sir.
368
00:44:41,240 --> 00:44:42,920
With a broken body,
369
00:44:43,960 --> 00:44:45,880
I will kill the King of Tiemo.
370
00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:47,680
Today,
371
00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:48,960
I win!
372
00:45:19,880 --> 00:45:24,240
DICHEN TEAHOUSE, TEA
373
00:45:30,960 --> 00:45:32,440
After tomorrow,
374
00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:35,000
I hope Chang'an
375
00:45:36,200 --> 00:45:37,640
can still know such peace.
376
00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:42,600
But you will be gone then.
377
00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:49,840
The plan is set.
378
00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:52,560
Whether I am here or not
379
00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:55,480
won't matter.
380
00:46:00,720 --> 00:46:02,120
This is
381
00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:04,960
the life I chose.
382
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:12,240
Heaven casts a mournful frost
383
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:16,920
People drift like wind-tossed weed
384
00:46:18,560 --> 00:46:22,800
Bones return to the plain
385
00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:28,840
As the plain withers and blooms each year
386
00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:44,840
TEA HOUSE
387
00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:12,240
Where is he?
388
00:47:17,920 --> 00:47:18,960
Where is Huai'an?
389
00:48:45,200 --> 00:48:47,160
XIE HUAI'AN
390
00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:51,560
LIU ZHI
391
00:48:53,520 --> 00:48:54,760
THROUGH LIFE’S STORMS,
392
00:48:54,840 --> 00:48:56,000
COURAGE CARRIES US TO BLOOM.
393
00:48:56,080 --> 00:48:57,320
THANK YOU FOR WATCHING.
